TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the field of packing, and more particularly relates to a packing device of a flat liquid crystal display (LCD) product.

BACKGROUND

Liquid crystal display (LCD) products include many flat finished products and semi-finished products, such as LCD glass substrates, LCD glass substrate components, backlight modules, LCD modules and other products. These flat LCD products have common features that a dimension proportion of length to width is not large, but the proportion of length and width dimensions to product thickness is large, namely that the products are in laminar shape and are not easy to be packed and transported, especially for LCD glass. Because glass is a brittle material, when the glass collides or is shocked by external force, it is easy to rupture and scrap.

In the prior art, a packing mode of this kind of LCD products mainly adopts a vertical putting mode, because the LCD products have better rigidity and are not easy to be damaged when being vertically put. A corresponding packing device generally includes an outer case and an inner buffer element. The buffer element is configured with a plurality of slots which is used for fixing the LCD products, and the buffer element is used for fixing the LCD products and providing buffer protection.

The buffer element can be made of foaming materials, such as EPP (Expanded Polypropylene), EPE (Expanded Polyethylene), EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), or other related materials. But this kind of foaming materials have better buffer property and certain hardness, and no powdered scrap will fall off the foaming materials. Thus, there is no need to worry that a dust-free room environment is affected. However,because entire intensity of the foaming materials is not high, the wall thickness of the buffer element is generally very thick. The materials have a large usage amount and expensive price, which is not beneficial to reduce packing expense.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure discloses a packing device of a flat liquid crystal display (LCD) product. The flat LCD product can be an LCD glass, a backlight module and an LCD module. In a first example of the packing device as well as the exemplary example of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the packing device comprises an outer case 2 and a buffer element, and the buffer element comprises a corrugated board 5 and foaming buffer elements 6 fixed to the corrugated board 5. The foaming buffer elements 6 are provided with slots 61 and the slots are used for fixing the flat LCD product 1.

The buffer element of the packing device of the flat LCD product of the present disclosure comprises a corrugated board 5 and foaming buffer elements 6 fixed to the corrugated board. The corrugated board 5 with the same strength and the same area has lower cost and the corrugated board 5 is mainly used for resisting external impact force. The foaming buffer elements 6 are mainly used for fixing the LCD product 1 and providing buffer protection. Thus, usage amount of the foaming materials is greatly reduced. Because properties of the two aforementioned materials are fully used, packing cost is reduced. Additionally, because the corrugated board 5 has thin thickness and small volume, a size of the outer case 2 can further be decreased and the packing cost is further reduced.

In the example, the buffer element comprises an upper buffer element 3 and a lower buffer element 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the upper buffer element 3 comprises a plurality of foaming buffer elements 6. The foaming buffer elements 6 are arranged in parallel, and a clearance is arranged between the foaming buffer elements. The corrugated board 6 is configured with curves 51 and the curves 5 are parallel to the foaming buffer elements 6. One foaming buffer element 6 positioned on an outermost side can be bent together with the corrugated board 5 by 90 degrees along the curves 51. The upper buffer element 3 is a sectioned structure and comprises a left upper buffer element and a right upper buffer element. The left upper buffer element at least comprises two foaming buffer elements 6 and one curve 51; specifically, there are three foaming buffer elements 6. The right upper buffer element at least comprises two foaming buffer elements 6 and one curve 51. Specifically, there are three foaming buffer elements 6. The sectioned structure can reduce the usage amount of the packing materials and reduce cost.

The upper buffer element 3 can provide horizontal and downward buffer protection for the LCD product 1. Additionally, a fixed and buffer protection is further provided for a top center position of the LCD product 1. Thus, the LCD product is reliable. In a manufacturing process of the upper buffer element 3, firstly, it is easy to fix the foaming buffer elements 6 to the flat corrugated board 5. Then, one foaming buffer element 6 is bent by 90 degrees by arranging curves 51 on the corrugated board 5. Thus, a three-dimensional protection is formed for the LCD product 1.

In the example, the foaming buffer elements on the upper buffer element can also be more than three. The number of the foaming buffer elements can be designed according to practical situation of the LCD product.

In the example, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower buffer element 4 comprises a plurality of foaming buffer elements 6. The foaming buffer elements 6 are arranged in parallel, and a clearance 41 is arranged between the foaming buffer elements 6. The corrugated board 5 is provided with curves 51 and the curves are parallel to the foaming buffer elements 6. One foaming buffer element 6 positioned on the outermost side can be bent together with the corrugated board 51 by 90 degrees along the curves 51. The lower buffer element 4 is an integral structure and comprises at least three foaming buffer elements 6. Specifically, there are six foaming buffer elements 6. There are two curves 51, and two foaming buffer elements 6 positioned on the outermost side can be respectively bent together with the corrugated board 5 by 90 degrees along the two curves 51;. The integral structure has a large usage amount of the packing materials, but has high strength.

The lower buffer element 4 can provide horizontal and upward buffer protection for the LCD product 1. Additionally, a fixed and buffer protection is further provided for the top center position of the LCD product 1. Thus, the LCD product is reliable. In the manufacturing process of the lower buffer element 4, firstly, it is easy to fix the foaming buffer elements 6 to the flat corrugated board 5. Then, two foaming buffer elements 6 positioned on the outermost side are bent by 90 degrees by arranging curves 51 on the corrugated board 5. Thus, a three-dimensional protection is formed for the LCD product.

In the example, the foaming buffer elements on the lower buffer element can be four, five or more. The number of the foaming buffer elements can be designed according to the practical situation of the LCD product.

In the example, as shown in FIG. 4, the clearance 41 between the foaming buffer elements of the lower buffer element 4 corresponds to the foaming buffer elements of the upper buffer element 3., and a width of the foaming buffer elements of the upper buffer element 3 is less than or equal to the width of the clearance 41 corresponding to the foaming buffer elements, so that the foaming buffer elements of the upper buffer element 3 can be put into the clearance between the foaming buffer elements of the lower buffer element 4 during reception and storage. Therefore, in the process of warehouse storage and transportation of the buffer elements, the upper buffer element 3 can be inserted onto the lower buffer element 4. Thus, a volume is reduced, and warehouse storage and transportation cost is reduced.

In the example, like the lower buffer element, the upper buffer element can also be an integral structure and comprises at least three foaming buffer elements. There are two curves, and two foaming buffer elements positioned on the outermost side can be respectively bent together with the corrugated board by 90 degrees along the two curves. Or, like the upper buffer element, the lower buffer element is a sectioned structure and comprises a left lower buffer element and a right lower buffer element;. The left lower buffer element at least comprises two foaming buffer elements and one curve, and the right lower buffer element at least comprises two foaming buffer elements and one curve. An almost identical beneficial effect can be achieved.

As shown in FIG. 5, a second example of the packing device of the flat LCD product of the present disclosure is different from the first example that: the upper buffer element 3 is a sectioned structure and comprises a left upper buffer element and a right upper buffer element. The left upper buffer element comprises two foaming buffer elements and one curve, and the right upper buffer element comprises two foaming buffer elements and one curve. Like the upper buffer element 3, the lower buffer element 4 is a sectioned structure and comprises a left lower buffer element and a right lower buffer element. The left lower buffer element comprises two foaming buffer elements and one curve, and the right lower buffer element comprises two foaming buffer elements and one curve. This example is a simpler example of the packing device of the flat LCD product of the present disclosure and can achieve the purpose of reducing the packing cost.
